GQ_jumper 4 #1 February 22, 2007 I just watched his announcement, he claims he is going to run for political office in Alabama in 2014. He has no business doing that, when asked what party he affiliated himself with he looked totally confused. He can barely speak, and his views on the situation in Iraq sounded like they were from someone who had read a few snippets on the news ticker and formed an opinion about the entire conflict based on them.

JohnnyD 0 #10 February 22, 2007 Slight tangent: I saw an interview with Sir Charles years ago when he was hinting at running and a reporter asked him what he thought about death row. Charles replied that he didn't believe in death row. The reporter was surprised and asked if he would try to get the death penalty repealed. In classic Charles form he says: I don't believe in death row. I believe in death week. Just enough time to get all your mail forwarded and say goodbye. He was serious.

GQ_jumper 4 #11 February 22, 2007 So because I say that I don't want to see a certain person in office that makes you think I was born in another country? sorry I idn't word the OP in a manner more to your liking, if you had seen the announcement I'm sure you would feel the same way, but either way that's a pretty fucked up statement, saying you wonder if I was born abroad. I've been out of the US twice in my life and both times it was to fight for this country, and I take it pretty personally when someone questions whether or not I'm a true American.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

If what you post causes people to question the depth of your alliegence to the basis of American culture, then I would say that you either have an inflated opinion of your views about what America is or you are coming across very wrong. All my money is on the latter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #13 February 22, 2007 I'm sorry but I still fail to see how my original post about how I disagree with someone like Charles Barkley running for office would make you doubt my allegiance to the culture of the country I defend. People make statements all the time claiming that Bush has no business being in office, do you say the same thing to everyone of them? Yes, he has every right to run when he's eligible, but me saying he has no business running is a personal opinion and a figure of speech, nothing more.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.
